Abstract

A neutron monitor has been constructed which uses the activation of rhodium by thermal neutrons. A rhodium disk is rotating between the neutron beam and proportional counters. The gamma background is subtracted automatically. A neutron flux of 10⁵n/cm²s can be measured with a relative precision of 10^-3 in the presence of a gamma flux of about 10⁷γ/cm²s.
